Need recommendations for a 2-person scout craft.

[Error]

Just as the title suggests, I need some suggestions for this. Scout craft on the larger side might be usable as well, meaning ones with a small cargo space, maybe big enough for an astromech droid.

Links to pictures and/or stat pages much appreciated. Also, I do have the Ships document, so page quotations are fine too. In fact I have all the stuff so any reference is good.

Just for clarification.

Is this for a private enterprise or is the ship being supplied by an employer? i.e. Imperial, Old/New Republic, Corporation?

Capsule: The Orlean Star Explorer, colloquially known as the Star Cab, was an exploration vessel considered ancient by the time of the New Republic Scout Service. Star Cabs were frequently crewed by droids, presumably to minimize consumption of air, water, and food during long surveys. The standard navigation droid equipped on Star Cabs may have been an ancient predecessor to the R2-series astromech droid. Scouts who served aboard Star Cabs for extended periods were said to develop disagreeable attitudes toward the ships' droid crews. Luskin Exovar kept a Star Cab hanging from the ceiling of his emporium along with several other vehicles.
Star Cabs originated early enough in Galactic history that hyperdrive units were not yet completely reliable. A Star Cab's Class 10 hyperdrive was much slower than those employed by most New Republic scouts; indeed, by that era a Class 10 would have been a more common speed for a backup hyperdrive (which the Star Cab lacked entirely).
Star Cabs were usually heavily armed, considering the wilder state of the Galaxy in their heyday. (However, they lacked shields, possibly due to technological constraints at the time.) Their standard armament consisted of four blaster cannons, two firing forward and two aft.

Scouts book, Vanguarrd pathfinder, MRX-BR pacifier.. Both would work great for a 2 man crew.

Redthorn Scoutship: Has a 2-man crew, is way more modern that the Star Cab, has 6 months of Consumables, Source: Planets Collection (page 118)

SkyBlind Recon Ship: One of my personal scout ship favorites. Uses sensor blinds to conceal its presence, so it's basically a stealth scout. Has a landing sphere that can't go very far from its mothership or a heavy gravity zone (such as a planet), so it's only good for traveling to and from orbit between a planet and its mothership. Only has a Class 3 hyperdrive with a Class 20(!) backup and manuevers like a pig (0D manuverability!) and isn't very fast (only Space 2) but its stealth systems are more than enough to keep it from being easily detected. Only requires a single crewmember, but it does have room for up to 7 passengers, more than enough room for an astromech droid if the nav comp goes down for some reason. Source: Galaxy Guide 8 – Scouts (page 38 ). Landing sphere stats found at: (Vehicles Stats – page 88 )

I royally hated that they never gave those ships in scouts a Price.. So whn someone wants to buy one, i know how much to charge..

Basically, here's the backstory:

Two characters hijack an Imperial Lambda-class shuttle and take it to a junk world where there is a station in orbit that will pay for salvaged or broken ships (and sometimes stolen ones). However, the station owners won't pay for freshly-hijacked Imperial ships because they wish to avoid drawing attention to themselves from the Empire.

So the two park the shuttle at the edge of the system and regroup. They decide to wait for a big salvage liner to come by (hopefully with a crusher aboard). One shows up and tractor beams them aboard after a brief com exchange. The captain offers them either 8,000 credits for the shuttle as-is (which he can either fence himself elsewhere, disassemble and sell piecemeal, or crush and sell for materials), or they can trade it to him for a two-person scout craft he had found with mummified bodies on board (hyperdrive error killed them, basically).

They ask the captain if he has repaired the hyperdrive and done diagnostics on any other systems that could have gone bad, but he says he hasn't. However, since he does have the parts and tools aboard needed for such repairs, he offers to let the two use the storage pad where the scout craft is parked as a makeshift garage so they can repair it themselves. So it's this second craft that I need ideas for. It would have been abandoned property—the captain checked into this when he picked it up. It also needs to have decent armament; a pair of laser cannons, a single ion cannon, and an ordnance tube for concussion missiles would be optimal though I am not sure how many two-seater scout craft out there have that kind of firepower. It would also need shields and at least an x1 hyperdrive.

The captain tells them that when he picked up the craft it appeared brand new, or at least well cared-for, which means the hyperdrive error occurred and eventually killed the crew before the ship could pick up any serious wear and tear.

Some links for your consideration:

My version of the Incom A-24 Sleuth

The HWK-290, restated as a Scout/Courier.

Also, here is the link for the Star Wars Deckplans Alliance, with detailed deck plans for the Sleuth and the Skyblind mentioned above.

How old are the HWK-290's? As in what years were they produced? I can only seem to see them during the Rise of the Empire era and later. I need something that could plausibly exist in 9 BBY and be old then.

What if I used, say, something called a HWK-150 or HWK-200 which looks like a more rounded, heavier, and retro-looking version of the HWK-290. It is a sturdy ship though with very reliable sublight engines. Holds 12 warheads for the launcher. One pilot and one gunner. 2 heavy laser cannon (fire-linked) and 1 multipurpose warhead launcher. Six advanced concussion missiles, two magnetic pulse torpedoes, two sensor probes, two mimic decoys (programmed with multiple other ships and variants on them). The nose does not contain the crew quarters but the extra warheads, so the forward fire arc is visible to both pilot and gunner from the cockpit. In fact the cockpit is shaped like a half barrel on its side a ways back from the nose of the ship. The crew area is located behind it. The Pilot sits lower in front and the gunner sits higher behind. Both have heads-up displays.
